Fans from the Granite State such as the Hocutts witnessed the win in person.

“I’m born and bred Red Sox fan from New Hampshire,” said Martha Hocutt, who grew up in Litchfield. “And then I raised my son right and I made him a Red Sox fan. And my husband, well, that was part of the deal when we got married.”

“Oh my gosh, it’s just a dream,” said Alex Hocutt, Martha’s son.

Alex’s grandmother got the tickets for the family.

“When she found out they were going to the World Series, she called and said she would like to buy tickets for them, so I said, ‘Hey, do I get to tag along?’”
